The only thing that will “help” a homeless addict is long term holistic therapy. Not clothes and food so you’re not any more morally superior by buying them these instead of giving money. I think we need to remember that the homeless people also deserve autonomy to make decisions

Probably in a minority but when I give money to a homeless person I actually don’t care what they spend it on because it’s theirs now

I met with a mayoral candidate this week and they were stunned when I introduced the idea of solving the teacher diversity problem by creating a pathway for paras to become lead teachers. – at Somerville, MA

Meanwhile the Providence Student Union calls for an end to the state takeover as well. We need to start hearing more input from our very own @pvdstudentunion

When the point is made that criminals don’t obey laws, so the bills are valueless, I have to ask why do we pass any laws? – at Providence, RI

News outlets have a responsibility to monitor comments. Why is it all that different from deciding what we'll allow in our opinion pages? Free and open to diverse viewpoints, but not acting as a channel for outright hate.

Will be at Major Park (or I guess Ellery Park?) this Sunday (3/14) starting at 11am to do a little cleaning up! First time doing a clean up in a public space, usually just go around my apartment and the alley behind it. Come say hi and lend a hand if you're free!

Just so everyone hears it from me first, I will be pushing for a Rhode Island constitutional convention in 2024 so that we can amend the rules and have a full-time state legislature. That is all.

It's amazing that we have a legislative system in Rhode Island where one person can stop a bill from coming up for a vote before the entire body. @UpriseRI

Gentle reminder that ISIS was created by the US govt to fight the Shiite militants, who were armed by the US govt to fight Saddam, who was armed by the US govt to fight Iran, who hates us because the US govt overthrew their elected leader and installed a brutal dictator.

Knowing that his successor opposes the death penalty, Donald Trump has rushed to execute as many people as possible before the transition. He has executed more individuals in weeks than had been federally executed in more than 60 years. Absolutely shameful. End the death penalty.

Julian Assange is still in prison and that is 1000x worse than Trump losing his Twitter account.

I took public transportation for years when I worked at a factory in Providence. What's the future of Kennedy Plaza? It’s my opinion that RIPTA's riders should have a say in any proposal. All voices are important.
